When I first push off and when I come down to a stop such as leaving home and coming back where its relatively quiet, I can hear a slight "groaning" up front somewhere under the dashboard, forks, fairings, not sure. I can steer fine, it's just a weird noise. The bike has fallen over a few times in the last year, i.e. high winds and just my being stupid (or just a really skinny guy that weighs way less than the bike when doing some tricky parking thing...) Feedback and solution welcome. Thanks.

 

Need more info. could be disc pads dragging, fork springs, bearings, etc. Estimate your speed, try with brakes, without brakes. Maybe a cable rubbing somewhere.

 

OK, thanks for reply. Brake, no brake would be a good place to start and I'll test it out. I think I need to bleed the front brakes to reset it for I had to take off the front wheel a couple of times and even though I put in spacers when the wheel was off, the brake feels a bit choppy/not as as smooth as it should be. Which may or may not be related to this "groan."
